Quick Package question

Right now, I have the Plus DVR HD package (the $69.99/month), plus HBO (@$14/month).

If I wanted to add another Premium (Sports Pack for the fall), I'd be at $69.99+ $14+ $13....wouldn't I be better off just getting the Premier? Or would I have to turn around and add DVR and HD to the $99.99 premier pack?

You would have to add HD but the DVR fee is apart of the Premier package. So for $13 more you would have all the channels.

Plus, if you call and ask nice, they may give you some credits on the Premier Package - sort of a try it to see if you like it deal. That's what happened with me, I called to find out what other package deals there were and they offered Premier and gave me 6 months of credits to try it out - I forget the exact amount ($5-10) and I kept Premier.

Looking at the D10 Starz lineup I see 5; East, West, Edge, Comedy, and Kids & Family. If I go to the Starz lineup at Directv.com I only see East and West and 10 others 6 of which are Encore.......... channels.

When D10 goes live hopefully around 9/15 exactly what Starz channels will we get in HD????

These are the Starz channels that will be HD: Starz! EastStarz! WestStarz! EdgeStarz! ComedyStarz Kids & Family

and you have to have the Starz package to get these channels. It is the same with HBO, Showtime, ect..
